LR McCoy is a wholesale distributor of fence, flooring, landscape products, specialty building materials, and industrial wood components serving professional dealers, retail outlets, home centers, and industrial accounts throughout North America and Canada.

Chuck MacFarland, LR McCoy’s IT Director, comments, “What differentiated bisTrack was the combination of the Microsoft® tool set that it’s built with, and it being a better fit for the way we operate our business. Right away, bisTrack’s Windows® look-and-feel appealed to those of us who recognized it for what it was, and what it would mean to us.”
